She’s Gone

Verse 1: She’s gone. She ain’t comin back. Why’d ya let a good girl get away like that? Driving down the road, no breaking lights. She’s on a one way track speeding out your life. And

Chorus: She’s gone she’s gone she’s gone. You’re gonna beat yourself up for who knows how long.

Verse 2: She had a heart of gold, she put it in your hands. You were a scared little boy who’s now a broken man. If you could track her down would she understand that it took her leaving for you to want her hand? Cause

Chorus: She’s gone she’s gone she’s gone. You’re gonna beat yourself up for who knows how long.

Bridge: Where’s that girl? Where’s she gone? Where’s that girl? She’s moving on.

Verse 3: Not a day goes by she doesn’t flood your mind. You’re screaming “why oh why didn’t I just fight?” and “If this is meant to be why is it killing me? And is this just another break or is it really too late?”

Final Chorus: Is she gone? Is she gone? Is she gone? Well you better catch that girl before she’s gone for too long. Too long.

Stranger

Verse 1: You were just a stranger. I was attracted to the curiosity. And I was tempted by the danger. And I craved to know so I sunk in my teeth. But now bitterness is all I taste and the salt from the tears rolling down my face. Was it worth it all cause now I’m trapped here in this place?

Chorus: And when I see you I don’t see you like a stranger anymore. When I see you I can’t look at you the way I did before. I wish I could turn back time to when you were just a mystery. Cause when I see you all I see is all our history. I see you and me. Oh I wish you were a stranger. Oh I wish you were a stranger.

Verse 2: I used to sit and wonder how it would feel to kiss your lips and hold you in my arms. I was the sun and you were thunder; the thief of my heart disguised in perfect charm. We lost all control and jumped in way too deep. You got out of the cold and left me in to freeze and now there’s no one around and I’m drowning in this misery.

Bridge: And we heard that same old song about two becoming one. It must have played a thousand times. And I thought I saw it all but I guess it’s possible I misread the signs.

The Other Girl in Me

Verse 1: Well she’s reckless and she’s crazy. But she can also be a perfect lady. When she’s nice and calm and sweet as can be. That’s the other girl in me. Well she likes commitment and loves to love. But don’t hold her tight or she will run and just when you think she’s yours to keep she becomes the other girl in me.

Chorus: She’s a bird who can’t be caged. She’s a broken heart that can’t be saved. So don’t get lost in her maze. She’s really not the one to blame. Can’t you see, that’s the other girl in me.

Verse 2: Well sometimes she gets so damn confused. Feeling like she has to choose between the girl she likes and the girl she hates. It’s a twisted war she can’t escape.

Chorus: Cause she’s a bird who can’t be caged. She’s a broken heart that can’t be saved. So don’t get lost in her maze. She’s really not the one to blame. Can’t you see, that’s the other girl in me.

Verse 3: Well maybe it just simple is that she hasn’t found the perfect fit. Cause when you fake a smile for someone else you start to lose the pieces of yourself.

Final Chorus: Cause I have lived my whole life running from temporary high to high. I want to feel so alive but as she soaks up my light I fade inside. She’s almost like a disease but that’s the other girl in me.

Never Be

Verse 1: Just don’t open it up. Don’t forget the reason it’s been bottled for so long. Oh push it back inside. Lie, deny and tell yourself you’re losing your mind. The devil’s been whispering in my ear and I pretend that I’m not listening. Oh but he won’t quit the fight. I try to put it out of my mind but his words are so damn convincing but I can’t go back.

Chorus: So don’t fool me. Cause I can’t handle anymore lies. Oh and don’t use me to fill a void in your life. You can say what you want. You can say what you need but know it’ll never be. Never be.

Verse 2: Oh there was a time when I was proud to stand by your side. Oh but you pushed me away cause you were afraid I’d break your heart and leave you dry. But I’m not a yo-yo. I don’t come and go by your pull of my string. But I have to admit you make it sound so nice. Your words are hypnotizing. But I won’t go back.

Bridge: And don’t try to find the perfect words to say to me. This bridge has burned. I’ve lived and learned that you’re exactly what I don’t need.

The Master of Disguise

Verse 1: She makes it look easy when really it’s a chore. Covering up deep inside all the feelings she hides behind her heart’s bullet proof door. She makes it look simple. Puts on the grandest show so he’ll never see what’s hiding between the seams of the fiction she sews.

Pre Chorus: Oh cause he said no, no, no. So she told him she let go. Made him think her curtain closed. But she’s still holding on to what he thought was gone.

Chorus: She’s the master of disguise. The keeper of the lies. Guard of the tears behind her eyes. With such a cool composure but inside fights for closure, the key that she can’t find. She’ll play the part and act out all the lines cause she’s the master of disguise.

Verse 2: Another production, another day gone by. This act is wearing her thin. She’s drowning inside her skin. The death of truth’s her suicide.

Pre Chorus: Oh cause he said no, no, no. So she told him she let go. Made him think her curtain closed. But she’s still holding on to what he thought was gone.

Bridge: Well is she fooling anybody? Cause she sure ain’t fooling herself. And you know it’s gonna blow. It’s the end of the road. It’s all about to implode and he’s starting to figure her out.

Hello Love

Verse 1:

Hello love. It’s nice to meet you. I can’t believe that I’ve never seen you. You gave my wings and made me fly. He shot me down from my cloud nine. Is this what it’s like on the other side? The heartbreaker’s broken for the first time. So tell me love, is this why people cry?

Chorus:

I try to fight it all back but it’s got me tightly entrapped. I run but it’s just too fast oh love, release me from your grasp.

Verse 2:

Hello love. It’s you again. We’ve been over this before. He doesn’t need you. You’re just a friend. He told you to move on so why aren’t you gone, gone, gone, gone, gone? It’s just gonna get worse the longer you hang on. You’re not welcome here but thank you for one sad love song. I’ll tell you love, you’re why people cry.

Chorus:

I try to fight it all back but it’s got me tightly entrapped. I run but it’s just too fast oh love, release me from your grasp.

Verse 3:

Hello love. You still haven’t left yet. Today was hard just getting out of this bed. How can you be such a beautiful thing and leave such an unbearable sting? I hate you love and I’m not one for hating. I love you love but love you are not obeying. And if I could I would change his mind but I can’t sell him something he don’t wanna buy. I tell you love you’re why people cry. I tell you love, you’re why people cry.

In My Shoes

Verse 1: Hello to her. Goodbye to me. I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s gonna be. Cause we both know it’s inevitable this in between is never lasting.

Chorus: And it’s sad but it’s the cold hard truth when you meet her I’ll meet the curb and everything we have will fade away. You’ll go see movies and take long walks. You’ll laugh and love constantly talk bout how happy you are. You finally found the one. You’ll watch the sun rise, gaze at the moon. When she walks in your life and steps in my shoes.

Verse 2: The story of you and me well it’s an unsolved mystery and she has no clue how to break the case. The evidence can’t be traced but I think she’s tired of losing face. Is that all you’d need to walk away?

Bridge: Never even met her and I already don’t like her cause she’s gonna steal away my only man. And she’ll never be good enough cause what girl could ever put up with what you put me through again and again?

Verse 3: And it’ll ache in places I didn’t even know were there. Wish it could be you and me forever twisted in this love affair. But if she’s what you want, she better be the best and if she is I’ll put down my fighting fists and step away. I’ll step away. I’ll step away. I’ll step away.

Final Chorus: And it’s sad but it’s the cold hard truth when you meet her I’ll meet the curb and everything we have will fade away. You’ll go see movies and take long walks. You’ll laugh and love constantly talk bout how happy you are. You finally found the one. You’ll watch the sun rise, gaze at the moon. Will you do the things that we used to do? I bet she won’t be half as cool. When she walks in your life, I’d like to tell your wife, when she walks in your life and steps in my shoes. And steps in my shoes.

Free

Verse 1: I’m making my way down the road to start a new life. Heading in the direction where the sun always shines. And I’ve been trying for so long just to write a happy song. But now I’m

Chorus: Free from the heartache. Free from the dead weight. Free from it all. Cause through falters and morals misplaced you find a great strength when you hit a wall. And now I’ve climbed to the other side.

Verse 2: I see a smile on the face of a child and my heart melts like ice. Tell me what could be better than her sweet laugh and those big blue eyes. And how can such a little girl be my saving grace and change my world? Cause now I’m
